Yes, exactly this. Shutting down faith based by replacing it with another faith does not even satisfy basic "rational-lens" observation.

We are dealing with something that needs our attention (i.e. the origin and meaning of existence) not something that needs to be shut down by what is essentially even more religious (than religion itself!) behaviour. We have come a long way since Galileo and few, if any, of the major religions are themselves "anti-science" at this point so it's almost humorous that now is the time that science starts becoming faith based when it should by all means stick to Karl Poppers fundamental falsification thesis.
